ISO 14923:2003规定了热喷涂涂层特性的概述。 在ISO 14923:2003中，由于所有可熔化材料都可以通过热喷涂进行处理，且存在多种多样的热喷涂工艺，因此无法详细说明不同类型的涂层和大量涂层。所述试验为热喷涂涂层的通用程序和试验标准。 未提及的任何试验方法仅在特殊情况下或实验室条件下使用。

ISO 14923:2003 specifies an overview of the characteristics of coatings produced by thermal spraying. It is not possible in ISO 14923:2003 to go into details regarding the different types of coatings and large numbers of coatings due to the fact that all meltable materials can be processed by thermal spraying and that so many and varied thermal spraying processes exist. The tests described are procedures and test criteria in general use for thermally sprayed coatings. Any test methods not mentioned are only used in special cases or under laboratory conditions.
